12/15

Objective:  SWBAT review for tomorrow's midterm exam.

Warm Up:  Get out your review packet.
Draw a graph that depicts the potential energy of a pendulum vs. time.  Superimpose over that graph the kinetic energy of the pendulum over time.

12/14

Objective:  SWBAT review for Friday's midterm.

Warm Up:  get out your midterm packet (I gave them out last Friday).  Answer question 1.

12/13

Not much to post this week.
Yesterday we reviewed (while many of you were having group pictures taken).

Today is the Chapter 11 test on Fluids

Wed and Thursday we will review for the midterm.

Friday is the midterm.

Next week we will start Ch 12, so if you are going to be gone, please get the syllabus ahead of time so you can work on the homework assignment.

12/9

Objective:  SWBAT solve problems involving fluids.

Warm Up:  In a car lift, compresses air exerts a force on a piston with a radius of 13 sm.  This pressure is transmitted to a second piston with a diameter of 1.04 m.  What force must the compressed air exert to lift a 1.2 x 10^4 N car?
